Simple Photography Subject #2: Sunsets

Sunsets are perfect subjects for taking photos as they are a beautiful blend of nature’s colors. Various hues of oranges and pink make for a stunning photograph. Even as a stay at home mom, you can still manage to take marvelous sunset shots right from home. Far-flung beaches are not the only destination to shoot glorious sunsets. Sometimes, all it takes is a keen eye to spot a beautiful sunset right outside your kitchen window. If you live in a high rise condo, you may be lucky to have a good, unobstructed view of the sun as it sets.

When taking a sunset shot, try not to aim the viewfinder directly at the sun. You’ll create a more dramatic effect that way. Keep shooting until the sun finally sets, because sometimes it does move at an amazing speed.
